Has to be some form of upsloping, right?

I've seen this happen multiple times in situations like this where it looks like the radar just continually back builds over us despite it looking like the cut off is about to move through. The radar just kind of blew up again. I've always wondered if this is a function of upsloping?

It's kind of funny that in the end we are probably going to end up with 3-4 inches of snow after all is said and done, just didn't get there the way we thought we might.

I'm bumping this. Does anyone happen to have NAM/GFS/Euro runs leading up to the storm? Ian posted them years ago but are no longer on here.

Yep, from like 4 or 5 days out it just kept bumping north. The 2009 storm also coincided with the infamous Pitt Cincy football game.....that was a bad weekend. One of the most crushing losses of my sports fandom, in flurries, while DC got buried.

That just kept showing run after run after run of absurd numbers. I went into it expecting maybe 8-12 inches, but NWS kept bumping up forecasts until the storm started. I'll never forget the locals having totals of 3-6 inches being on air at 6PM when we already had 5 inches and snow plus. 2.5 also maybe had one or two runs that drifted south and looked like they might fringe us, but there was really almost nothing to ever panic about as dryslotting and changeover weren't ever an issue.

Thats fine, though I have one dude right now arguing with me that there was never a prediction of a foot plus in AGC and I literally posted a map that had 12-18 contours over the full county. Again, my problem at this point is that someone is essentially lying despite posting multiple things that disprove him. You're right, move on, but with this event I basically said one, it wasn't a bust, and two that the only thing that kind of sucked is that it got very close but I never really expected anything, and I STILL had people going absolutely insane on me.

The range on that map was 12-18, actually. How about this, when I call it a bust, you move on instead of feeling the need to throw a tantrum everytime I say it. To me, it was a bust. You are never going to convince me otherwise, but you absolutely lose your mind when I say it. If you thought it was a good event, I'm glad for you, but as I've said for me it was quite possibly one of the more dissapointing events I can remember because just a day before it looked like we were trending towards a 12-18 inch type storm and ended up with an advisory level even in most places in AGC.

Oh really? You literally don't remember the KPIT graphic predicting 12?

It’s because everyone insisted on saying a storm that was forecasted to drop 12 inches and not have major p type issues had major p type issues, and dry slotted for 6 hours, and for most of the county didn’t hit warning level. it also doesn’t help that I posted a snow map showing it’s from the NWS and was told the map was wrong. edit: also, I have people screaming at me saying this storm was a bust. I didn’t. And for the love of god if I call MLK a bust I have no clue why it causes such a meltdown on here.

I called MLK a bust. This one was not a bust, and I never said it was.

All of you can piss off. I’m done with this bs. Everyone else can have weenie meltdowns but even when I don’t I get attacked.

GIVE. IT. A. REST. like I said, shut up.

I’m assuming he meant me. He already told me I need to move to Youngstown today.

And I never said it, but all the trolls in this board are contorting what I said. I said the models teased us but this was always a long shot and I’d be happy if we squeezed out a few inches.

Show where I did that, or shut up. Seriously.

Radar looks great north of the city. Moderate snow in Wexford.

KCLE also looks like they hit blizzard criteria overnight. Had 4 hours of quarter mile visibility and 35-40 mph gusts.

What the hell? You guys really need to lay off.

Sounds about right. I’d imagine they had a lot of “taint” as far as sleet. It looked like for a bit we were in the game for that sort of outcome but the front stalling destroyed that

I lied too. I was looking at storm reports from last night in NE Ohio around 6-7 and many places already had 4-8 inches then. Many places likely ticked up to 10-12 inches. Oh well, this was never our storm, it just got way closer than we thought just to tease us.

This isn’t climo, it’s just awful luck. I don’t think any huge totals verified in NE Ohio because ratios were horrific, but a lot got 6-10 inches and I saw Crawford county got a foot. Just kind of amazing the front stalled for a good 12 hours or more in a spot that made us 33 and rain while 50 miles nw it snowed.

It isn’t just you. It looks like we are being split perfectly by the two bands of precip. Too bad as I think we could have gotten a few inches.

Radar looks to be filling in nicely.
